This forum is gold. A good 89% of the community are very helpful and knowledgeable. This top is also helpful to me and I am sure others.

https://manuals.plus/tidradio/td-h3-two-way-radio-manual This is more helpful than the booklet. I hate tiny booklets. "1750Hz Repeater Tone (R-TONE) – Menu No.32 With this function you can select IO00Hz, l 450Hz, l 750Hz, 2100Hz repeater tone. To send out a repeater tone; You hold down the [PTT] + [ LAMP ] key. If you have the keypad lock enabled on your radio, you can still send al 750Hz tone the regular way without having to unlock your radio."

Yes. Yes it does. Back when I was into CB I think I had something like 20 radios between base and mobile. My favorite radio at the time had to be my President HR2510 with the Chipswitch. But I only used that for Citizens Band.

I laugh because not only do I remember that, but my sister and I were the "remote control" for that particular set!

No truly active repeaters in my area. They seem to be too far away for me to hit even outside after multiple radio checks and a couple of accidental kerchunks because I momentarily forgot my call sign. No nets either within my reach. I am still glad to have the license and radios because they encouraged me to finally test for technician grant very recently (within the last 7 days) and I passed so just waiting for the FCC grant now. Hopefully ham will help fill in the GMRS gaps for me at least a little bit. In my searching, it seems as though there are a fair bit of ham repeaters available near me and if that pans out well enough after some listening, I will be seeking a club to possibly join. Damn you, GMRS! You got me back into seeking radio licenses again and I grumble in your general direction!

Between this very helpful post (nicely detailed) and the posts from SteveShannon, TrikeRadio and LeoG, every question I had about this radio has been answered. I am not the OP to this thread, but thank you all for the information! Very, very helpful.
